6-4 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
v1.1, May 2006
The following is an example of configuring VRRP on a 7000 Series Managed Switch acting as the
backup router:
Enable routing for the switch. IP forwarding will then be enabled
by default.
(Netgear Switch) #config
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip routing
Configure the IP addresses and subnet masks for the port that will
particpate in the protocol.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/4
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#routing
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#ip address 192.150.4.1 255.255.255.0
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#exit
Enable VRRP for the switch.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip vrrp 20
Assign virtual router IDs to the port that will particpate in the
protocol.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/4
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#ip vrrp 20
Specify the IP address that the virtual router function will rec-
ognize. Since the virtual IP address on port 1/0/4 is the same as
Router 1’s port 1/0/2 actual IP address, this router will always
be the VRRP backup when Router 1 is active.
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#ip vrrp 20 ip 192.150.2.1
Set the priority for the port. The default priority is 100.
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#ip vrrp 20 priority 254
Enable VRRP on the port.
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#ip vrrp 20 mode
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/4)#exit
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#exit
